Help Damascus Citizens for Sustainability mobilize community resistance.   Each  gain we make  results in the gas industry  pressing ever harder on small communities and their political representatives.  Help neighbors just like you develop the tools they need to  push back!

Please  fill out our very short volunteer form.  

Tell us when and how you can be a Help Street resource person.  Read the list to the left of this column.   Is there help you can give? 

 It might not seem like much,  but teach one person in New York,  Pennsylvania,  Wisconsin,  Ohio or Arkansas to build a blog or a Facebook page and you're helping hundreds  -- maybe thousands! -- organize their communities and learn the truth  about  the destructive nature of hydrofracking.

Go to the  "I've Got Skills To Offer"  form

and we'll pair you with a community ready to resist!

Don't forget to visit our  Community-Building Resources.
